People who have warm friends are
healthier, happier than those who

treasure worth more than gold or

many things, good aud evil. All the

VIRGINIA DARE.
The Most Effective FisticuE.
By JULIAN HAWTHORNE.

Meanwhile, l am willing to cons
ccde that one OF the most admired
and effective features of the art OF
fst~fgbting. as pi acticed during the
last hundred years, may be OF mod
ern invention. The very word box
is confirmation Of this view. 1t is
derived from an old German noun
signifyiAg cheek aud to box u man
meant to fetch him bang on the
cheek or the ear in other words, to
hit him swinging or roundabout
blow. Now, this is the instructive
blow Of the uneducated fighter, the
reason being that u swinging blow,
when it reaches it's mark, is more
telling than blow Of any other
kind. 1t is enforced by the lateral
swing and weight Of the whole body;
and, when it arrives, something has
to 60 sometimes it is the knuckles;
sometimes it is the wrist but gem
orally speaking it is the person who
gets bit. This blow, However, 10
open to two objections first. it is
easily parried and in the second
place, il exposes the striker to a de,
trimental retort. Accordingly, sci.
ence has dismissed it Except in sps-
cial predicamenD in favor OF the
straightforward blow, which, though
lacking the stunning impact OF the
other, is much more difficult to ward
of, can be delivered more swiftly
aud does not SO expose the body to
. counter. Moreover. as regards it's
inferior force. that is q matter OF
comparatively small consequence
A blow between the eyes does not
have to be heavy enough to floor sn
OK in order to be instructive In-
deed it is surprising how effective q
reasonably light knock mag be, if
delivered in the right place. The
trained prizs-6gbter may not much
mind such blow but to the IN.
practiced amateur it is full OF signi-
fcance and persuasion. 1t is enough;
and enough is as good as feast, not
to speak Of q funeral.
Furthermore, when You have daz-
cd your adversary with the straight
bit, you may iii you like) 60 in aud
finish him with q roundhander. But
I do not advise it We are not ell
the Marquis Of Queensberry, nor is
II necessy to restrict 30 agreeable .
psstime 90 . square stand-up fight
to . paltry ten or twelve minutes.
Take your time, and enjoy Yourself /,
you may have to wait a long time
before the opportunity recurs.

cally termed, may then, be regarded

What Troubled The Bride.

They were on their way to church
TO have the marriage ceremony per-
formed. The lady was only ten
blocks away when sho discovered
that sho bad not put on her bridal
veil. This was no fool Of veil eitb-
er. 1t was not tho regulation square
Of blonde lace, but a IL ,ely Brussels
net, richly wrought BY the nuns 10
the Convent of the Sacre Gear, in
Montreal. Back went the bride for
this gorgeous portion of her raimeut.
1t was thrown over her 10 tho car-
riage and the wedding processio on
again started This time . breath
Of air produced an inclination to
sueeze. The poor bride repressed it
but it escaped at last, and, oh horror
on horrors head, her white satin
waist split from belt to shoulder.
Here occurred o halt, this tune at a
little shop where thread aud needle
were obtained, and the gaping space
with difficulty was covered.
At last, much too late, that unfor-
innate woman reached the church.
In stepping nervously from the cars
risge the lace bottom Of 60 under
petticoat caught on i.s step, a..
she felt the fastening give away,
Every step up the aisle she could
feel that cruel skirt slip. slip. till she
feared she should have to step out
Of il Mt the very altar. She took q
grip on the side, aud on che went;
During the entire service she clung
to it like grim death; She let go
for q moment TO get her glove of
for the ring, and when she resumed
hor hold she felt that it bad gained
Oh her. Like Florence Wallack, she
might have been married with the
ca.echism for oil! she knew. She
had these thoughts: Will that pet
ticost be dropped in the aisle, or
will shed il on the sidewalk before
the mob as clint into the carriager
ls it tue lawn skirt, with three ruff,
llss of valenciennes, or is it that lit
tie blue embroidered cashmere ma
made me wear 60 I wouldn't take
cold = The perspirstion started on
her pallid brow as she hurriedly
made the responses, and half faint
ing, made her way down the aisle.
Don't lose your presence OF mind,
dear whispered the young husband.
It's my potticoat I'm losing, re-
turned the lady pettishly.
When once in the carriage the
sentimental bridegroom pressed her
hsod and said AT last the prize
is mine
She said the same thing as she
kicked the dreadful pstticoat under
the carriage scat. 1t was the wooden
one.

should be conducted to the COM
mander's tent. Silently she. handed
him the Presidents paper. lie took
it. read with white face and lips and
silently turned away from her. 1t
was too late, the terrible truth was
borne to her without word being
spoken. With q heartrendiug sbriek
she fell insensible on the ground
Tenderly the brave but stern met
around her lifted her up and minis
tered to her and tears stood 10 man y
a veterans eyes over the SORROWS
stricken woman.
The commanding officer had de-
ferrsd the execution threo days, and
even late into tue afternoon OF the
third day. Then thirteen men from
another regiment than John Balls
were chosen. and twelve Of them
were given muskets, though only
one OF these muskets had shot in it.
The thirteenth man was held in re-
serve iu case OF the first shot not
doing it's work effectually, and to
render the ecene more barro wing
tLis actually proved to be the case,
go the thirteenth man was called on
to give the death wound to the ill
fsted John Ball. This man declared
afterwards to a friend that this was
the most terrible moment OF his life,
aud that he would rather have un-
dergone death himself than to be
called on to fulfil such O task;
have given q fictitious name to the
prisoner, but 10 all other respects !
have adhered to facts.
When the wife recovered from her
swoon her brain was 90 deraDged BY
the terrible blow that she seemed
merciful!y unable to realize or clears
ly recall tho tragedyihat had befal-
leu her. Alternate fits Of wild ex~
citemeut and gloomy apathy sue
ceeded each other. She slipped
away out OF camp aud instipctly
found her way back to her humble
cabin, aud after piuiug there a few
weeks she was one morning found
lying dead on the grave Of little Sal
lie.

The Parsons Thanksgiving.

The Parsons Thanksgiving.
She was as fair and neat q maid,
Az ever man tried winning,
The sanity parson was afraid
To think OF her was SHINING.
Not one Of those pale lilly kind,
OF this weak generation,
For nature was Of generous mind
When planning her creation.
A Bald'in apple, ripe and red,
Could not be more inviting,
Than those plump cheeks by blushes
Where red and white were fighting
Her dark eyes had . modest look;
Tho parson oft had noted,
When lifted from her prayer.book,
To which she was devoted.
Her voice was sweeter than the rest,
He loved her clear tones ringing,
So never sighted a request
To give out extra singing.
And yet when he would 60 to tea,
At her old fathers dwelling,
Whether she cared his face to see,
There was no way Of telling.
His head was full Of college art,
And penalties for SHINING,
But how to read woman's heart,
He knew not the beginning.
lie ate her biscuit, light and white,
He praised her butter making.
lie watched each motion with delight
Then feared such pleasure taking.
He spoke Of his, a lonely life,
She said she thought 1t bitter,
Or sally Smith might be his wife,
That is, IL he could get her"
And so il went a year or so,
She grew more sweet and rosy,
He grew more thin. and sad and slow
His sermons were more prosy.
1t was upon Thanksgiving eve,
When pious maids and jolly,
Game thronging to the church to leave
Fresh evergreen and holly.
They all were gone; the parson stood
And sighed, "These wreaths above
me.
And all these posies do no good.
Since Mary does not love NO."
He heard a rustic at the door,
There stood that maiden saying
~ left ,ny mittens on the floor,
That's why hear am staying"
She trsmbled like . frightened deer.
Her face Was pale as ashes,
The parson saw as he drew near,
Tear drops were on her loshes.
"Forgive me, sweetest love" he cried,
~ would not cause you sorrow"
Then why don't YOU" came from
her side,
my fathers daughter borrow :"
No matter what he had to say,
He felt Il new creation,
Aud told tha people we'll acxt day,
How happy WAS this nation.
And long before q year had flown,
The sweetest woman living,
Fair Mary, had become his own,
Aud each day WAS Thanksgiving.

Father drew . long. trembling siKh
and sank slowly toward the floor, whepe
mother had already fallen. Their sup
port gone, the sudden unlocked for Lift
ing of the cloud of death, the rush Of
relief from the horrid nightmare caused
a quick revulsion of feeling that made
me limp as rag, weak as q, dying
babe. And I, too, sank between my
parents.
The minister said something did not
hear, brothers and sisters knelt around
us, and I heard the preacher pouring out
PRAYER of gratitude that the dark
shadow of death had passed by, leaving
the light of life.
My sentence of death was commuted
to imprisonment and labor during the
var.
But it was life!
